  • 1.  validate numeric input

    Posted Wed April 15, 2015 08:02 AM

    Hello, I am trying to validate if input of DojoTextField is numeric or not but I don' t get the correct result. If it has 9 digits and if it is a number is valid.

    My code below: 

      
    private function myValidator (input string in, constraints dictionary in) returns(string?)           if(strlib.characterLen(input) == 0 || strlib.characterLen(input) < 10)                  return (null);             else                  return ("Input has more than 9 digits");             end             if (input matches "[0-9]")           else              return ("Not a number");                   end             return;  end

    Hi Michael
    Try this:

    If (DojoTextField is numeric)
       if (DojoTextField > 999999999)
         return("Invalid");
       end
    else
       return("Invalid");
    end
     

    Best regards

    Hi Michael,

    You could give this snippet a try. This validator only accepts positive integers. You would have to alter constant inputmask if you have other needs (like accepting negative integers, decimals etc.). 

    private function myValidator (input string in, constraints dictionary in) returns(string?)   error string?;   const inputmask string = "[0-9]+";   case      when (!DojoLib.VALIDATORS.PatternValidator(input, inputMask))         error = "Invalid number";        when (strlib.characterLen(input) > 10)           error = "Input has more than 9 digits";     end   return (error);  end

     

    Regards,
